I didn't receive a tracking no. or shipping conformation from them so I was giving them until this coming money before I started harassing them!<BR/>I have a filly (2 yr old) on strict stall rest, and due to my own issues with being in a confined space have made her into a monster. I have fed her enough treats for 10 years, bought her all kinds of stall toys, and let her ground manners go... Ugh...guilty of being a push over!! I am going to have my hands full when we are off this stall rest crap! I am trying to remind myself right now that I CAN put her in her place without her hurting herself...but she is sooo cute and board out of her mind...poor, poor Fiona!

Usually there's one little "quirk" that I find in all the horses. Not Thai! Thai is the horse that you wish ALL your horses could be. Lord knows when she was ridden last and she did twitch or flinch at all when we tacked her up or when Cathy climbed aboard. She's jsut a living doll! I can't say enough good about her.Karen Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03905570178257490375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283889904866601329.post-30444816734802163372009-03-19T21:36:00.000-07:002009-03-19T21:36:00.000-07:00Millie is a baby.

My Very Tall Arab was this way, so far as to treat me like a teddy bear or his favorite tree when he felt good. You just gotta catch it earlier on (rather than at 3, when I acquired the VTA), whack 'em good and be consistent.<BR/><BR/>Millie's pushiness and baby behaviors have been a great reminder to me why I don't really want to deal with the babies again. Silly me was kicking around the idea of buying a yearling. I've changed my mind!<BR/><BR/>Keep us posted on Thai's riding progress as it happens. I've chatted with Cathy a tiny bit and she *might* be what we're looking for, but time will tell. We really want a kid/husband horse for our next horse and there's just something so special about Thai that draws me to her...<BR/><BR/>A pasture pet isn't in the cards any time soon as we board and my Casey may need to be retired at 8 sooner rather than later. (A rescue himself). Time will tell though...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
